Made famous by the Tony Award-winning musical Hamilton: An American Musical, the Schuyler sisters Angelica, Elizabeth, and Margaret (Peggy) were fascinating characters in American history and played significant roles in the life of founding father Alexander Hamilton. Now, for the first time, there is an exhibition exploring the Revolutionary world of these women in the sisters' hometown of Albany, New York.

The Schuyler Sisters & Their Circle looks at the lives of Angelica Schuyler Church, Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, and Margaret Schuyler Van Rensselaer through clothing, decorative arts, portraits, and manuscripts from the Revolutionary Period to the Federal Period. These women witnessed the birth of the new nation and their lives connected them to significant events and persons in American history, such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and the Marquis de Lafayette.

Showcasing objects that are rarely displayed together, the exhibition boasts significant loans from museums, archives, and private collections that will thrill visitors- from history buffs to Hamilfans!
